Ā-cārya, as, m. lit. ‘one to whom one must have recourse’ or ‘one who is to be attended to or waited on’ or ‘one whose precepts are to be followed’ or ‘one who knows the ācāra or rules;’ a spiritual guide or teacher, especially one who invests the student with the sacrificial thread, and instructs him in the Vedas, in the law of sacrifice and religious mysteries (Manu 2. 140, 171); an epithet of Droṇa the teacher of the Pāṇḍus; (ā), f. a spiritual preceptress. The title ācārya affixed to names of learned men is rather like our Dr.; e. g. Rāghavācārya, &c.
